The time has come!!!! It’s that time of year – BlogPaws or Bust! Time! This is your chance to share your creativity for a chance to win a trip to the BlogPaws 2016 Conference at the gorgeous Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort in Phoenix, Arizona, from June 23 – 25, 2016.

BlogPaws changed my life. I’m seriously not even joking when I say that. If it weren’t for BlogPaws, I’d probably still be a miserable person working in the corporate world at a tiring 9-5 job. No thanks. That life is not for me, and BlogPaws helped me realize that! Now I’m a full time pet blogger and I owe it to the hard work I’ve put into blogging, thanks to the inspiration and motivation I’ve received from the BlogPaws community. Now it’s my turn to give back, and help others realize their dream.

Everyone warned the newbies that this conference would be exhausting. They were right. Honestly, it probably wouldn’t be as bad if I didn’t bring Wynston. Since he’s struggling with the crowds and overstimulation, I’ve spent a lot of time worrying about him and making sure he’s comfortable. I do think that this has been a good experience for him though. Next year since the BlogPaws conference is in Phoenix, AZ, I’ll be able to bring his stroller or leave him home for a day to rest. I’m glad I work from home so when I get back to Arizona on Sunday, I can sleep for a week straight!

Wynston and I (and our friends Kama, Porky Pig and Polly Pocket) leave for Nashville, TN to attend the 2015 BlogPaws conference in 5 days and 11 hours – from the time I am writing this post!!!!! It feels like just yesterday I purchased my plane ticket (February) and found out I am a Nose-to-Nose award finalist in March!
